Kingsdown Nursery School

Very nice nursery I like it very much . My daughter is always happy to go there and she is happy when she is coming out. Her teacher Sara is so nice lady and all staff is very friendly, helpful and nice. They making a lots of activity and even seeds a little plant which is good experience for little kids. Definitly recomended.

2018 & 2020

Although the nursery is a nice building with quite good facilities the care is not good and I would not send my children there.i have spent many days there as my child could not settle.it is free play I would say 90% of all time so basically your child is left there and has to find sth to do while the staff is usually busy doing some paperwork or they just wonder around. I have hardly ever seen a teacher engaged with the activities with children. They do not sing together or play games or do some art and crafts.if your child is adventurous and playful would cope in this system but if is shy and reserved or speak other language than English will be left and lost there. They have an excuse that free flow/ free play is the best for your child no matter what you say.there is a huge problem if you are too early or too late (5min) even if it rains in winter they will not let you in to the building -which is an absurd ! So parents wait outside or in cars very often with little ones crying.there is a huge corridor where the parents could wait and pick up the kids but hey no! My daughter liked to play with dolls so I thought it will help her to settle in if they are available for play but whenever I asked the staff where they are I was told they are only outside.i have seen children left crying/ being lost and purely sad. There is a huge lack of communication between teachers and the children. I have to also mention that the lady who is a head teacher there is very unpleasant and hard to like.I know that many parents resigned from there and chose other nurseries. They always have free spaces and have to advertise in magazines. also the baby room is a real disaster. go there and sit there with your kid for a while and then think how you feel there and ask yourself if this is really a child friendly environment.

I was one of the first to send my daughter there when they first opened years ago, and then it was an excellent presentation school, and now years later when my grand kids go there it is still. An excellent school. My grand kids are very happy there and they helped my grandson's settle in when they did not want to be separated from their mums. Very happy indeed.
